Microsoft promised to get rid of Adobe Flash in its browsers by the end of the year
Adobe first announced the end of support for Flashback in July 2017. Then all the developers of Internet browsers announced the rejection of this technology. Among them was Microsoft. A year ago, the company already promised to remove Flash support from its browsers, but its plans have apparently been adjusted. Now Microsoft says that its browsers will finally lose support for Flash before the end of this year.
The company has made it clear that by the end of the year it will remove Flash from all three of its currently supported browsers: Internet Explorer 11, Edge Legacy, and Edge Chromium. Starting in 2021, users who try to take advantage of legacy technology will have to overcome some difficulties and install the Flash plug-in in the IE mode of Edge. It’s worth noting that Adobe will make the plugin available for business users only.
It is reported that next summer, all APIs, group policies, and interfaces dedicated to Flash management will be removed from Edge Legacy and Internet Explorer 11 via a cumulative update. It should be noted that Flash Player has been disabled by default in all modern browsers for quite some time. Therefore, if you have not faced any compatibility issues due to the lack of support for Flash technology this year, Microsoft’s innovation will be completely painless for you.
